Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the vegetables: Finely shred the cabbage, grate the carrots, and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3. Drain most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan for flavor. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt over medium heat.
4. Add the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced onion to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until they begin to soften and caramelize slightly.
5. Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the cooked vegetables. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
6. Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the vegetables and toss to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7. Stir in the crumbled bacon, ensuring it is evenly mixed throughout the coleslaw.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the fried coleslaw to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
9. Serve immediately as a warm side dish or as a topping for burgers, sandwiches, or tacos. Enjoy!
